This volume presents cutting edge linguistic research across the fields of syntax, semantics, morphology, translation studies, language acquisition, and phonology. It explores key topics such as bare partitives, differential object marking, the role of clitics, the semantics of grammatical and situational aspect, and existential quantifiers. The data come from English, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian and other Romance languages. Several papers also focus on the issues posed by the translation of various challenging structures into Romanian and other European languages.

Her research focuses on the syntax and semantics of noun phrases in English and Romanian, partitivity, classifiers, definiteness, specificity, nominalizations, and datives.
